'The First Bad Man brings together all of July's talents - it's a book that must be read, a book that must be purchased - in duplicate - one for you, one for a friend. Don't think you can loan this book - you'll never get it back' A. M. HOMES, author of This Book Will Save Your Life and May We Be Forgiven
The first novel by the filmmaker, artist and bestselling author Miranda July confirms her as a spectacularly original, iconic, and important voice today, and a writer for all time. The First Bad Man is dazzling and unforgettable.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Eight years after the release of her short story collection No One Belongs Here More Than You, contemporary Renaissance woman Miranda July—an artist, filmmaker (Me and You and Everyone We Know) and the creator of the app Somebody—has published a debut novel that’s unabashedly strange and extremely compelling. We love the off-kilter humour and intriguing observations of July’s heroine, Cheryl Glickman. The 40-year-old single woman moves through life befuddled by other people, but she’s also uncannily good at telling the truth. Bizarre, disturbing, hilarious and never boring, The First Bad Man is peppered with brilliant one-liners and memorable moments of dysfunction.
